Land Rover is teasing the fastest version of the Range Rover Sport, which will make its first public appearance at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.

If this high-performance Range Rover follows the Land Rover naming scheme, it will likely be called the Range Rover RS. However, a new special operations division in charge of building high-performance cars has just been announced at Land Rover, which means that the naming structure might also change.

Power is likely to still come out of a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, but this special operations version will probably make about 550 hp compared to the Range Rover’s 510 hp. Previous spy photos reveal a new quad exhaust along with a reworked front fascia with larger air intakes.
